Anand and produced by J. N. Sharma, seem to have put new life into director Jagirdar. Let us hope he utilizes the talent of Nargis well so that the picture gets a sufficient quota of pathos — something which our masses like to see on the screen, SHAHIN PICTURES (Bombay)
If filmgoers want to see the charming Nigar Sultana in a dynamic role, they should wait for "Khel" produced by S. M. Nawab. Nawab is optimistic and tells us that '"Khel" will definitely appeal because of its touching story. AKASH CHITRA (Bombay)
"Hanste Ansu", a social, produced and directed by K. B. Lall and starring pretty Madhubala is making good progress. Madhubala is a talented artiste who can smile or weep according to the mood of the moment and this in itself should make "Hanste Ansu" a good picture. K. B. Lall is busy side by side with the script of "Angrai" starring Madhubala and Nargis.
